Santi Solari gives his assessment of Melilla romp & stomp

Argentine boss notes that the two-leg score shows how much the team are committed to winning

He admits that playing Melilla was not a stroll in the park, as Segunda team did show their worth by playing some good football at times

Madrid were not always comfortable playing Segunda or Tercera teams in the Copa recently and Solari noted that 10 goals scored across the two legs shows how everyone within the squad appears to be committed and focused on their jobs:

"It shows us that there are many players who are in good form, very committed, and have played a solid game with joy in attack," he said. "Melilla are top of their Segunda B group, that is a tough competition.

Madrid eased to a 10-1 aggregate which saw Los Blancos progress to the round of 16 thanks to two braces from senior stars Isco and Marco Asensio, as well as a fine volley from the young defender Javi Sanchez and Brazilian starlet Vinicius Junior's effort.

Nice job @ SOLARI. I want him to do a Ferguson or Asene Wenger. I want to see a coach that will stay for many years. I thought Zozou would do that. Pls bad times will definitely come. It happens for every club. But, Let's be patient and be supportive, both in GOOD & BAD times.
